Diehard basketball players dream about having their own in-home court, and with a little work, it can become a reality. Indoor basketball courts cost $35,000 on average, and you can build them in areas such as garages, barns, or house additions. Here we will break down the costs of an indoor basketball court and a bit about the process of creating one.

How Much Does It Cost to Build an Indoor Basketball Court per Square Foot?

On average, an indoor basketball court will cost $3.50 to $17 per square foot total, depending on your material choices and labor costs. This is a big range, but what types of materials you choose and any existing structure you have makes all the difference.

Flooring and labor are your two biggest investments. Maple hardwood runs $3.50 to $6 per square foot plus $3 to $8 per square foot for installation. It’s the gold standard for basketball court floors, so for many serious players, it’s well worth the cost. 

Laminate flooring is a fraction of the cost, at $0. 70 to $2 per square foot and with the same installation costs.

You could also forgo additional flooring altogether and just play on a cement slab. In this case, you’ll likely want an epoxy floor coating to protect the concrete. Materials and labor run approximately $6 per square foot.

How Much Does an Indoor Basketball Court Cost by Size?

The size of the court makes the biggest difference in cost. Think about your goals for the court: Is it just for quick pick-up games, practice for your child’s team, or professional players? How you will use the court helps determine its size and how much you want to budget for it. When choosing the court size, remember to include extra feet for the perimeter.

Small Courts

A smaller space of 30 feet by 30 feet (900 square feet) costs $3,300 to $15,000 on average. These courts are great for three-on-three action, measuring about one-fifth of the size of a full basketball court.

Half-Courts

A half-size court is 47 feet by 50 feet (2,350 square feet). Its average cost is $8,600 to $38,000. A half-court is close to the size of a junior high court, which is 74 feet by 42 feet.

Full Courts

A full court that is a regulation size of 94 by 50 feet (4,700 square feet) will fall in the $17,200 to $76,000 range. A full-sized high school basketball court is 84 by 50 feet for reference.

Building an Indoor Basketball Court Cost Breakdown

If you don’t have an existing space to repurpose into your dream court, you will need a contractor to build an appropriate room or outbuilding. Here are some of your options:

• Building an attached addition to your home averages $43,000.

• A detached addition averages $27,000.

• Building a pole barn costs around $15,000.

Once you have your space, you can address the makings of the court. Prices will vary depending on what type and styles of materials you choose.

What Factors Influence the Cost to Build an Indoor Basketball Court?

Labor and flooring are the two highest costs for the basketball court itself. Both are dependent on the size of the court. While labor costs can vary, you have some control over the price of your flooring by choosing what materials to use.

Flooring

Your flooring material cost can range widely with maple hardwood, coming in at around $3.50 to $6 per square foot for the wood plus another $3 to $8 per square foot for installation.

On the more affordable end, working with an existing cement slab is also an option. Consider applying an epoxy floor coating to protect the concrete. The price of an epoxy coating depends on the type and square footage. On average, it’s approximately $6 per square foot for materials and a professional installation.

Structural Costs

The vision for your indoor court can have a huge impact on the cost. For example, an attached addition will tend to cost more than a detached addition. Depending on your structure, you may want to add ventilation and ductwork for an HVAC system, which averages around $1,100. You can also expect to pay $450 to $550 per light fixture, not including electrical costs.

Things like the type of hoop(s) you choose, upgrades to premium materials, and other sports equipment will raise your costs, so be sure to mention these factors early so they are included in your estimate.

DIY Vs. Hiring a Pro

Labor costs are high for a project of this magnitude, and it requires time, specialized knowledge, and multiple types of flooring and structural professionals. With that in mind, this installation is best left to the pros. However, ask your local contractor what tasks you can do yourself in order to lower the costs or prepare for the installation.

For example, one job that you can take on is painting the lines on the indoor basketball court. Hiring a local professional painter costs around $300 for basic markings, but you can buy what you need for $50 to $100. Be sure to include things like rollers, pads, and trays, concrete or asphalt primer, paint, tape, and non-skid additives.

Frequently Asked Questions

From floor to ceiling, your court should measure at least 27 feet, so you have ample room to play.

Not if you already have the structure that will become the court. You can build an outdoor basketball court for about the same average price per square foot.

Consider any additional areas in your home that may need new flooring. Doing them at the same time can help save you the cost of labor service visits.

Getting the lines painted on your new court is a quick job. Consider any other rooms of your house that need a fresh coat of paint and combine the service call.

If you are running new lines, have the technicians inspect your home’s current wires and pipes for preventative maintenance or to add some new outlets. Make the most out of the time the pro is at your home.

Basketball ball size: FIBA ​​and US standards

Basketball is believed to have appeared on December 21, 1891. Then James Naismith, a physical education teacher from America, in order to interest students in sports, decided to hang two baskets in the hall and offered to play. The task is to throw the maximum number of points into the opponent's basket. There was no basketball back then. Used equipment for rugby and soccer. The first basketball appeared a couple of years later. It was not perfectly even, round and had a dark brown color. In addition, it flaunted lacing, which gave the players a lot of problems. The first smooth inventory appeared only at 1935 year. After another 20 years, the color has changed. Television workers noted that the dark brown ball was hard to see on the screen. It was decided to change the color to yellow. Interestingly, for more than 50 years there was no single standard, there were more than fifty shades from light brown to orange. Over time, uniform requirements began to form. Today we will tell you about the size of basketballs, what they are made of, and also look at the most famous models.

The outcome of a duel depends on many factors. Not only the physical fitness and talent of the athlete, the form and surface on which the game takes place, determine the winner. The ball plays an important role. The trajectory of movement and adhesion to the surface depend on its quality, shape and size.

What are

There are several signs of classification. Everyone knows that basketball is not limited to the space of the hall, it can also be played on the street. For each surface there are balls made of different materials. So, let's analyze the issue in more detail:

1. INDOOR. Equipment of this nature can only be played indoors on a smooth surface. Features a soft surface. It should be noted that indoor is categorically not suitable for playing outdoors. Otherwise, you will simply waste your money, as the ball will quickly fail.
2. OUTDOOR. Designed for playing on asphalt or hard ground. Made from synthetic materials. They are distinguished by a durable top layer, it does not wear out with frequent contact with a hard coating.
3. Universal. Manufacturers claim that such balls behave equally well on any surface, but in practice this is not at all the case. Even if you saw the marking "INDOOR / OUTDOOR", pay attention to the material of manufacture. If the ball is made of rubber, then it is suitable for asphalt, and if made of leather, then be prepared that it will quickly deteriorate on the street. It is better to leave it for training on a wooden or rubber platform.

In order to figure out what size balls are in basketball, it is necessary to take into account the age and gender of the player. For example, a child who has just started training will not be able to play with an adult ball:

1. For men. Their diameter averages 76 cm, weight - 600 gr.
2. Women play less with projectiles. The average diameter is 73 cm, and the weight is 560 gr.
3. Projectiles with a circumference of 70 cm and a weight of up to 500 g are intended for children.

In addition, this sports equipment is made of various materials:

1. Rubber designed for training on hard asphalt surfaces. As a rule, they are inexpensive, but the service life is not long.
2. Synthetic leather gear is resistant to all sorts of deformations and prevents air leakage. It is believed that such balls can be played both in the hall and on the street.
3. Made of composite leather are perceived as an analogue of shells made of natural fibers. Such inventory is soft, elastic. They can only be played on playgrounds made of wood and rubber.
4. Genuine leather shells are considered to be of the highest quality and durability. These are the balls that are played in competitions.

FIBA ​​Standards

FIBA ​​is an organization that unites all national basketball federations. It is she who determines the main directions of the development of world basketball. According to FIBA ​​rules, the ball must meet six requirements. They concern weight, circumference, rebound and coefficient of friction.

The table shows the FIBA ​​standards:

USA standards

In America the standards differ slightly. Just like in FIBA, the weight of the ball in basketball should be in the optimal ratio with the age and gender of the player. So, for the NBA, shells with a circumference of 29.5 inches are suitable, and weighing 623 grams. The Women's League uses a 28.8" 567g inventory.

From 9 to 11 years old they use balls of 27 inches and 842 grams, and from 4 years old they start playing with shells of 25 inches and no more than 397 gr weight.

Ball pressure

This indicator is extremely important. After all, it directly affects the quality of the game. It is impossible to show good results both with an inflated and a deflated ball. Interestingly, FIBA ​​does not have clear requirements regarding this issue. The only mention says that the projectile must be inflated to such a state that when it falls on the platform from a height of 180 cm, it bounces off approximately 130 cm in height.

Manufacturers

Be sure to look at the manufacturer when choosing a ball. It is known that companies with a name produce balls more expensive, but of high quality. We offer to consider several recognized leaders in the market for the production of the inventory in question:

1. Spalding. It is this manufacturer that supplies shells for the games of the Major Basketball League and the Super League. By purchasing such a ball, be sure that you have a quality product in front of you.
2. Wilson. The company became famous thanks to the Solution model. This ball is of excellent quality. A distinctive feature - absorbs moisture. It is worth noting that in Russia it is a great success.
3. Nike. A company that is good in everything. Few people know that in addition to sportswear and shoes, Nike also produces balls. They are selected by the Euroleague and a number of basketball associations in the Philippines.

How much will it cost

Be prepared that the minimum price for a good accessory that will last more than one year starts from $30. So, for example, Wilson Evolution costs $50, and Nike Elite costs $48. Slightly cheaper, at $ 35, the simplest Spalding will cost.

What to look for when choosing

The projectile must be well inflated in order to bounce well off the surface. It's easy to check. Throw the ball to the floor with outstretched arms. He should jump up to the waist. Or try putting your thumb on it. Ideally, it will bend by about 4 mm.

The shape also indicates the quality. There should be no bulges on the surface. Knock the ball, it should jump straight up straight, but not to the sides.

It is worth noting that the balls do not like dust and humidity. Therefore, play on a dry site, and then carefully clean the projectile from dust.

If you are a professional basketball player, it is better to purchase a high-quality projectile from leading manufacturers, made of modern synthetic materials.

Deciphering the marking

To understand exactly what kind of accessory is in front of you, it is important to understand the applied marking. So, the size will be indicated on the projectile:

Adult men and women play with balls of 6 and 7 sizes, size 5 is suitable for teenagers, and children who have just started playing need the smallest and lightest, at number 3.

To understand the weight of the product, find the inscription: Number, NO, Size or Category. The indicated number after this marking will indicate the size. If you order inventory from an online store and there is no opportunity to conduct a visual inspection, study all the textual characteristics very carefully.

Where and how the most expensive ball appeared

This type of sports equipment can be not only an indispensable element on the court, but also an accessory that indicates status and luxury. Fashion house Hermes has released the most expensive ball in the world. It is bright blue in color, composed of delicate calfskin. Made by hand. The production technology is similar to that of the well-known Hermes Birkin bag.
